K-2: This strand is for K-2 teachers and coaches. It will focus on K-2 standards, as well as the embedded Mathematical Thinking and Reasoning (MTR) Standards by proactively planning for Universal Design of Learning (UDL) using state resources. Participants will leave with manipulatives and resources that can be implemented in a classroom or school right away.
3-5: This strand is for grades 3-5 teachers and coaches. It will take a deep dive into the grades 3-5 standards through the lens of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and the Mathematical Thinking and Reasoning (MTR) Standards. Participants will engage in hands-on instructional strategies and tasks that can be used to engage all students. Participants will leave with manipulatives and resources that can be implemented in a classroom or school right away.
6-8: This strand is for middle grades teachers and coaches. It will cover various topics in number sense, statistics, operations with integers, solving one-variable equations, percentages ratios, and geometric transformations. Sessions will focus on Grade 6 through Pre-Algebra expectations along with implementing Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Participants will leave with manipulatives and resources that can be implemented in a classroom or school right away.
9-12: This strand is for high school teachers and coaches. It will expand upon participants’ pedagogy and content knowledge by experiencing activities that support the implementation of benchmarks in the 9-12 math courses: Algebra 1A, 1B, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, MCA, MDFL, MCLA, and Precalculus. Session materials will be applicable to any 9-12 math course and will address both Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and the Mathematical Thinking and Reasoning (MTR) Standards. Participants will leave with manipulatives and resources that can be implemented in a classroom or school right away.
Leadership: This strand is for K-12 school and district administrators. It will focus on developing understanding and accessing resources for supporting a school and/or district in having high-quality math classrooms. Participants will learn the benefits of planning with the Universal Design of Learning (UDL) principles that can be applied across all content areas. Sessions will be from a K-12/district perspective. Participants will leave with manipulatives and resources that can be implemented in a classroom or school right away.
Registrations by districts (April 1-12), charter schools (April 15-26), and institutions of higher ed (April 15-26) will take place in April 2024.
District contacts will receive instructions on how to log into their registration portals. Charter School leaders and IHE contacts will be emailed a link for their registration portals. A yellow registration button will show below when general registration opens.
All registrations made by the districts during the district registration window must be submitted by April 12. Substitutions will not be accepted after that date. If a district-made registration is cancelled by the district or the participant, the replacement will be filled from the wait list in the order received.
On May 1, any seats unclaimed by districts, and charter will be added to the general registration that will open at 10:00 am until all seats are filled. At that time, waitlist registrations will be accepted until 10 days before the event starts. Replacements for cancelled registrations will be filled from the wait list in the order received and may happen the week before the event.
General registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Once a strand/location is at capacity, participants may still register but will be placed on a waiting list. Transfers to different locations will be based on availability. Replacements for cancelled registrations will be filled from the wait list in the order received and may happen the week before the event.
One registration per individual is allowed. If duplicate registrations are made for the same individual, the registrar will contact the individual to determine which registration will be kept active and which will be cancelled.
FDOE will NOT be paying stipends for attendance. Please check with your district for its plans for professional learning points and/or stipends. A certificate of attendance will be issued at the end of the event.
Please add reg@floridalearns.org to your contacts as email confirmations will be sent from that email account. Please check your spam/quarantine folder if you do not receive an email confirmation.
Please email the FDOE if you have questions about the contents of the training or the Registrar if you have questions about registration.
